This is so simple yet really so good. We love this recipe. I recommend adding some salt, though, it definitely needs it. So delicious.

My family has done this recipe for years with a couple of variations. We do it in the barbecue. You cut the squash in half and put the butter and brown sugar inside. Wrap each filled half in aluminum foil and (make sure to keep them right side up) place them in the coals for about 45mins - 1hr. You can also substitute black pepper for brown sugar if you don't want the sweetness. It's really easy to barbecue, no turning is necessary if they are properly surrounded by the coals.

I have always made my acorn squash this way - even speeding it up in the microwave as others have noted when making it for two people. One night I had one acorn squash and unexpected company which we invited to stay for dinner. I cooked the squash in the microwave then scooped out the shells and spread the squash into a small casserole dish. I then dotted with pats of butter, sprinkled the brown sugar on top and placed under the broiler for about 5 minites. Everyone loved it and wished we had more. My company decided she will now make hers this way from now on.

Delicious! Took the suggestions of others and microwaved a halved squash with a little water for 10 minutes. Then I popped them in a 350 oven for 25-30 minutes with the rest of the toppings. So easy, so tasty and a great wintery veggie.

This is a great basic recipe. I didn't put the two halves together, instead left them both facing up and covered with foil for final baking. For color contrast and flavor I added dried cranberries to the butter/brown sugar mixture, it was soooo good!

This is a fantastic dish, my only addition is a sprinkle of ground nutmeg and a pinch of salt to each. Oh, and I only cook them face up, with the butter/sugar/spice blend in them from the get go, and a little bit of water in the baking dish to help steam them a little.

This is a very tasty recipe. I have never made squash before, but I thought I'll try this recipe since it was so simple. In the last month I must have made it at least 4 times. Thanks for submitting it.

WOW! What a great dish. I'd give it 10 stars if I could. I don't, however, understand why people would rate/comment on this dish if they have no intentions of trying it in the first place. They don't know what they're missing.

Very good. My husband even enjoyed it and he is not a fan of squash. This was my first time cooking acorn squash so I followed the directions as was and will do the same next time I cook acorn squash.
